"Stick to sport, should be free from politics": Andy Murray takes aim at politicians bemoaning cancel culture, but attempting to shutdown free speech

Andy Murray criticized politicians who try to lament the culture of cancelation.
The former world No. 1 concluded his 2023 season after losing in the first round of the Paris Masters to Alex de Minaur (6-7, 6-4, 5-7). The British tennis player remained competitive throughout the season and currently sits at world No. 42, pending the last week of competition starting Monday at the Sofia Open and Metz Open.
Murray recently shifted his focus outside of tennis when discussing political cancelation and freedom of expression, which garnered significant attention on social media.
“Politicians and political commentators “cancel culture is an attack on our right to free speech!” Athlete makes comment or supports anything political “stick to (insert sport) sport should be free from politics.”
While Murray's season started well and he also achieved some good results during the Grass season, the latter part of the year after Wimbledon wasn't entirely positive. From his participation in the Canadian Open onward, the 3-time Grand Slam champion couldn't manage to secure consecutive victories.
Following the US Open, Murray mentioned that he would evaluate how frequently he would continue playing.
“I’ve obviously been progressing this year from a ranking perspective,” Murray said in New York.
“You know, I had some great matches in Australia. Well, quite a few amazing matches at the beginning of the year really, in Doha, as well. Yeah, I think was close to, you know, you never know what’s gonna happen, but I think I was close to having a good run at Wimbledon.
“Yeah, like, I still enjoy everything that goes into, you know, playing at a high level. I enjoy the work. You know, the training and trying to improve and trying to get better, I do still enjoy that,”
“Yeah, and that’s what keeps me going. If things change and I stop enjoying that or my results, my ranking and everything, like, if I start to go backwards in that respect, you know, in a few months’ time I was ranked 60 in the world or whatever instead of moving up the way, things might change.”
